I have zero idea if Amazon gets any kind of fee for Kindle checkouts. I'm guessing no as they get other benefits, but that's just a guess.

That sounds similar to pricing for
Adobe Content Server. It costs $10,000 for first year, $1500 for subsequent years, $0.22 for permanent licenses, and $0.08 for expiring licenses.
